BRIEFCASE

July 20, 1993

MARTIN MARIETTA CORP. received Monday a $49.5 million modification to an existing Army contract for night vision systems. The company's Electronics, Information & Missiles Group, based in Orlando, will use the money to produce 119 Target Acquisition Designator Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor systems. All work called for by this agreement will be performed in Orlando and finished by June 30, 1994. The system uses infrared technology to allow a pilot to navigate and locate enemy targets at night using a television-like picture.
